Have you ever asked yourself this question?

“If I am so committed to everyone else having a business and a life that works, how come mine is not that great?”

Well the truth is not always easy to face at times and I know there are times when I’ve just wanted to crawl into in a hole and disappear. So you are not the only one when it happens to you.

It seems that every day we are dished up the Global Economic Crisis at breakfast, Unemployment for lunch and Recession dinner. Just what we need right now to drive the panic even further is a really bad case of Swine Flu.

Now, if you are addicted to doom and gloom, what ever you do, don’t read this any further.

What I have for you is positive and uplifting, life changing and powerful. Because it is in the face of adversity we find out who we really are.

Just one week ago I attended an evening event with Dr John Demartini (he was featured in Movie The Secret) and here is my message to you about maintaining you personal power.

Regularly seek out the people and places to support you to be great. Dr Demartini has some real magic in his material and I just love my ideas being challenged and hanging out with positive people going places.  

Just go along and hang out for a while and you will be inspired. I left with a CD they gave me just for coming along. I have listened to it 5 times so far and I am pumped.

Another tip I’ll give you is this…

When you run a coaching session or a training event, give your clients homework that gets them to listen to the material, any book, CD podcast or video that keeps them in the positive and uplifted state of anything is possible.

And do it yourself at the same time. Now that’s really out there isn’t it.

So here is the bottom line….

I learned this one 27 years ago and it’s still working today …

If you want the results that successful people get then do what they do.

Recently I was at the National Speakers Association of Australia (NSAA) national conference. It was truly the best NSAA conference I have been to in 20 years and I had a great time catching up with all of my speaking buddies.

Dr Stephanie Burns was there filling us all in and what she had been doing since last time we saw her. She is an amazing educator who taught me over 19 years ago and as a raving fan of her work, I still mention her material and techniques in my presentations today.

Now days I sometimes catch up with past students of mine out there still using the material that I was able to pass on to them over 15 years ago.

Now here is my point, some people actually remember what you said to them many many years ago. They remember because you were passionate about your message and because you were truly being you. You were solidly connected to your passion at the time and offering up pearls of wisdom that had them take action and change their lives.

So my question to you is this, how do you teach people stuff, and I mean real meaty chunky get your teeth into stuff that lasts over 15 years and have them remember it and what you said and how much it impacted them.

My answer is simple and yet at times very difficult to maintain.

Stay on track and focused to your passion. No matter what financial hurdles and family upsets you encounter, stay on track with your passion.

That’s right, and I didn’t say it was going to be easy now did I.

The NSAA conference reminded me that I have seen a lot of people come and go and yet those who remain are truly connected and passionate about what they do.

There is nothing better for me than to sit in at a conference 19 years after the event and hear my teacher fill me in on the huge gap, tell me what she is doing now and next in her world of education.

I know I need it and I’m sure you do to. A reminder of the lives we have changed and that the world is a better place because you took the courageous path to follow your passion.

What ever you do, please find the courage to follow your mission and purpose with passion and vitality.

If you feel like you are falling off the rails, call me and I’ll pick you up, write to me and I’ll write back or talk to me next time we meet and I will listen.

It’s now on my office wall on a picture hook and is sums up one of the most important aspects of the Leadership Development work that I do.

What I spend most of my time doing is teaching leaders how to be truly assertive and to be able to tell the truth with compassion – All of the TRUTH.

So thank you to Immanuel Kant 1724 – 1804 18th-century German philosopher

Your words of brilliance are inspiring me 200+ years later. An example to me and all of us of the power of the written word.
